In my laptop, evince crawls every time I open a scanned Physical Review paper (i.e. older than 1995). However, xpdf works flawlessly. A lot of examples can be found in the Physical Review Letters milestone papers, which I think anyone can access: http://prl.aps.org/50years/milestones
I must say that I've seen this happen on my laptop (ATi card + free radeon driver) and on a Debian Testing PC (Intel), but a Core Duo laptop with nVidia graphics and running Xubuntu Gutsy opened a "dangerous" pdf fine. Can this be related to the graphics card or the driver? I'll try fglrx to see if that changes anything.
